Compact scrubbers for laboratories
Properties and applications of gas scrubbers for laboratory use:
Properties:
- compact design
- self-priming, additional fan not required
- high separation efficiency over the entire
operating range - good absorption behaviour, even with considerable flow rate fluctuations
- Module consisting of jet scrubber and column
- integrated pump
- optional: heat exchanger can be installed
- optional: MSR equipment (e.g. pH, redox, temperature, density and/or level control)
- many expansion options
- easily transportable
- inexpensive
- various materials possible, e.g. thermoplastics, GFK (also with liner), stainless steel, steel with liner (rubber coating), special materials (alloy, enamel), etc.

Applications for laboratory gas scrubbers:
- Direct gas cooling
- Pre-saturation (possibly quench head needed)
- Physical absorption
- Chemisorption
- Dust separation
- Condensation
- Combination of cooling, absorption and dust separation
- Pilot plants in laboratories or technical schools
- Emergency units (e.g. HCl or chlorine emergency unit)
